Not what I needed

My car might have given up the ghost today. It’s not dead, but it sure is acting like it’s on its last legs. Just the other day I had spoken ill of her and today she wants to pay me back.

On my ride home, I stepped on the gas. Clunk! Whirr! Oh, no! It sounded like the turbo going. Nothing but a bad whine. That can’t be good. I limped home. Barely. She was throwing codes and the dashboard lights started coming on. That can’t be good. EPC. Check engine. The battery light as well. As I neared home, she was also stalling out. Gosh, I don’t need this now.

I’m going to have to drop her off at the dealer tomorrow.

  1. That sucks. Your mom just stopped by and told me. How are going to go to work and school? Cars a just problematic money suckers. I lived without one for two years in Cali. It was actually quite liberating. But public transportation wasn’t that great. And here, jeez good luck getting a cab without a phone. I don’t know how people can deal wiithout a car in this side of the world. We need bike lanes and more trams. That’s the future, NOT floating cars.

    At least it gave you something to blog about. =)
